Nationals
Does anyone know if there is a schedule out there for the SB Nationals in Raton. I was wondering if the first day is a sight in and practice day or do I need to be there a day early. Trying to get my schedule worked out for the nationals.

Kevin,
The smallbore matches are July, 8th, 9th and 10th according to my information in talking with Greg Connors. I would recommend arriving a day early at least to sight in. See you there.

Practice
There was a big stink about practice matches being held prior to the nationals at the host club.
I'm sure you will be able to practice at Raton but I would be surprised if there was a match before the start of the nationals.
It was stated that it gives people an advantage if they can or have the means to show up early and shoot a match.
At Ridgway last year there was a match before the nationals but it was because it was there regular scheduled monthly match date.

nationals
Kevin,
I can only presume there is a preceived advantage to shooting a regular match on the same course that the nationals will be held prior to the event.
It could be any number of things. One that comes to mind is that you will be able to observe the weather throughout the match. This is different than just praticing when you get there. Some ranges have very unique and repeatable conditions when it comes to sun position from start of the match to the end, wind ebbs and flows during the day, favored shooting postions etc.
